| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review @erik_squires NC1200 is for select customers only, and has been mostly replaced by NC500. They have the same power specs for 4 and 8ohms, the 2 ohm power output rating is higher for nc1200 .Datasheets can be easily googled. Bruno Putzeys designed ... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review Those numbers are on page 5 of NC500OEM datasheet. Go to hypex.nl.Overtemperature is indicated as 85 deg Celsius (page 4) | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review N-core continuous power output is thermally limited (like any other amp's). You get those figures in the OEM manuals. Currently the top OEM n-core is nc500OEM. When you pair it with SMPS 1200/700 you might get the PEAK performance of 700wpc. N... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review I have read the Stereophile review. Apparently Mytek built those amps specifically to power their Duntechs.Those speakers are a 25 years old technology with passive first order crossovers. A strange choice for a pro studio. The JA measurements of ... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review Mytek is known to have been using strange marketing methods, especially for a pro originated company. I remember when Brooklyn came out they were advertising features worth "thousands of dollars"- I believe they meant the phono input. In my exper... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre! You have a faulty unit, probably from the early production run. This fault could have activated after some time. I had the same problem and Mytek exchangedmine for a new one. | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics Agree with Audiotroy.No speakers or digital correction will cure bad room acoustics. In your case there is a solution and you won’t need wife acceptance because she will not notice it.10 inches of rockwool on your ceiling supported by grid/strings... | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 It would be nice if somebody could point to a scientific double blind test of cables. | |

| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? I know about one solution, curious about other.Hypex Ncore500 are rated 100 watt continuous with the thermal limit of 200 watt.Peak power is 700 watt into 4 ohms.The peaks can be fairly long, measured in seconds, the limits are thermal. Some Hype... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? I am curious about the peak/transient power approach to the topic. Apparentlypeaks/transients can demand 5-7 times the power of continuous (RMS?) power demands. Hence if an amp is capable of 100 wpc continuous delivery it should muster 700 wpc fo... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? The OP question (and more) was answered 40 years ago by Bob Carver. Short story:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_CarverLong story:https://www.stereophile.com/content/carver-challengeIn brief, Bob Carver Challenge proved that he could emulate any ... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? I tested various tube/SS scenarios with my Shiit Freya preamp, SS hypex n-core and Airtight AM201 tube amplifiers and Shiit Yggdrasil DAC. Freya offers three options: passive, FET, tube. For the last position I use 1940's VT231 Tung Sols. Here are... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? The video from Nigel Redmon is all clear and right on truncating /rounding, especially with the examples of going from 24 bits to 16. To get his whole message it’s worth going to his site and read about dithering. When and where to use it to make ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? Mike Moffat knows a thing or two about DACs since his theta digital dac in 1988 and MoFi Gain system. Introducing dither to Yggdrasil is a software change. He chose not to do so because with the 20 bit chips there is no significant difference be... |
